Kota Kinabalu: The setting up of a recreation and welfare club for former Sabah sepak takraw players has received the support of former Chief Minister Datuk Seri Salleh Said. The call was made by Abdullah Hj Majid, who was the organising chairman of a reunion dinner (Majlis Reunion Legend-Legend Sepaktakraw Sabah) for former State players held here in Asia City on Tuesday. He said the aim of the club is to appreciate the contributions of all the players who have worn the Sabah jersey and brought glory to the state of Sabah and also to the country. Salleh, who was the guest of honour, has given his blessing for the club to be established so that the welfare of the players will be taken care of, especially during hard times. Abdullah added that they are planning to publish a 'Sabah Sepak Takraw Legend' magazine where the biodata of players from the 70s, 80s, 90s will be featured along with photographs involving them competing for the state and country. Meanwhile, a total of 39 people who came from Sandakan, Tawau, Labuan, Kota Belud, Tuaran and Kota Kinabalu turned up for the function and the next reunion dinner will be held in Sandakan next year. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
